Installing dependencies and setting up tokens

Install dependencies:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Edit the file config.yml to put all the informations needed to connect (client ID, client secret and refresh token).

If you have no clue about what these options are, follow these steps:

  1. Go here and create an app
  2. Use the "script" type, and put http://localhost:8080 as redirect URI (the other options do not matter)
  3. Take note of your client ID and client secret
  4. Run the script authentication.py to get your refresh token
  5. Edit the config file to put the client ID, client secret and refresh token in it.

Running the script

Run RUN.bat, paste the URL of the reddit post you want to download and press enter.
